MOVIE REVIEW ()             REVIEW BY JERM
THE PLOT: JOSH (MEYER) AND HIS GIRLFRIEND HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE THEY WERE LITTLE, BUT KNOW HE’S GOING TO AN UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK AND SHE’S GOING TO A UNIVERSITY IN TEXAS.  JOSH IS TRYING TO STAY FAITHFUL, HE REALLY IS.  BUT FINALLY HE SUCCUMBS TO A NIGHT OF WILD SEX WITH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL HE’S STARTING TO FALL FOR AND WHO IS FALLING FOR HIM.  AND TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED, HE VIDEO TAPES THE WHOLE THING.  NOW THROUGH A BIG MIX UP, HIS TAPE OF HIM TALKING TO HIS GIRLFRIEND IS MIXED UP WITH HIS TAPE OF THE INFAMOUS NIGHT, AND HIS ROOMMATE ACCIDENTALLY MAILS THE WRONG ONE.  NOW JOSH AND HIS FRIENDS HAVE 1800 MILES BETWEEN THEM AND THE TAPE AND THREE DAYS TO INTERCEPT IT.  WHAT FOLLOWS NEXT IS ENOUGH SEX, MAYHEM AND T&A TO FILL TWO RATED R MOVIES.  THINK AMERICAN PIE ON WHEELS.  THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL FUN.  SEANN SCOTT COULD VERY WELL BE PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTER AS HE WAS IN AMERICAN PIE.  AND DJ QUALLS IS ABOUT AS INNOCENT AS A BABY BEFORE THE TRIP.  IT’S A REALLY FUN RIDE WITH GREAT COMEDY AND REALLY GREAT YOUNG ACTORS.  TOM GREEN CHARACTER IS A BIT MUCH, BUT HE’S STILL FUN TO WATCH WITHIN HIS LITTLE ENVIRONMENT.  THE VERSION THAT IS BEING REVIEWED IS THE UNRATED VERSION.  BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I COULD FIND BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS IS ABOUT 30 SECONDS ADDED TO A GIRL LOCKER ROOM SCENE THAT WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL. 

DVD REVIEW ()
DREAMWORKS SHOULD GIVE A CLASS ON HOW TO MAKE GREAT DVD’S!   THIS DVD HAS EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK (AND THAT’S PROBABLY IN THERE HIDDEN SOMEWHERE).  DELETED SCENES, BEHIND-THE-SCENES, EVEN A MUSIC VIDEO.  THE SOUND WAS GREAT, AND EVEN THOUGH DTS WASN’T NEEDED FOR THIS MOVIE, DREAMWORKS INCLUDED IT ANYWAY.  THE SURROUNDS AREN’T REALLY NEEDED FOR THE MOVIE, BUT THEY ARE NOTICEABLY USED.  YES, THE DVD IS PERFECT.  YES ALL OF DREAMWORKS DVD’S ARE.  TREAT YOURSELF TO A MINDLESS LAUGH TONIGHT AND GIVE ROAD TRIP A RENT.  ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES OF 2000.
